The category of Regional Books in India is large and thriving. The flavor of specific forms of literature is beyond compare, particularly when it is composed in the native languages. This sure is good news for the entire literary community in India, and also for the readers because regional books offer something that regular books don’t – telling a tale in the same language as the reader. The category includes everything, from journals, short stories, to novels and poetry.
